Young Blood Reverses Signs of Aging in Old Mice

It is interesting how many times the Hebrew Scriptures say, "the life is in the blood."  Do other ancient religious texts say similar things?

I wonder whether the fetus' blood affects a pregnant woman in this way, to some degree. Their circulatory systems are connected, though there must be some filtering to avoid immune interactions.

I am wondering if the mystery substance in young blood that invigorated the older mice' signs of aging is not a chemical, but rather energy itself. From Asian traditional beliefs (ie yin/yang theory) one learns to see the body as a complex energy-generating mechanism. The more one moves, and the more intense the exercise/emotions, the greater one's ionic energy production and reserves. So, the older one gets, the less energy would be circulating or available, as one moves less, the movement/emotions decrease in intensity and one's systems produce/retain energy less efficiently.

Thus, like caffeine on the American consciousness-- ionic energies might revitalize/reinvigorate tired, wounded, old systems...

Related to this topic, I would add as a caution that the above ideas are derived from experience with Asian/New Age practices, and my experience suggests sickness caused by such practices. It may even be that practitioners have learned to use bacteria/fungus/viral elements to enhance such physiological energy effects (hence the awesome board-breaking abilities and other physiological feats of strength and prowess as well as development of psychic powers). And, one must also question-- if true, are such practices healthy, particularly when not regulated or authorized by our society? What of the consequences to public health?)

The presence of an underlying systemic fungal and/or bacterial connection could also explain Asian concepts like the mysterious "Triple Burner organ" (which might be related to the nervous-endocrine-immune system interconnection, but made far more intense, probably related to triggering of the anaerobic/stress system)and chi meridians that that appear to correlate loosely to nerve centers identified by Western scientific understanding. Interestingly certain bacteria (like Lyme Disease) and fungi require zinc for growth, while zinc is also used in electrical systems as a fuse. So an overgrowth of these pathogens would cause normal body channels to become a kind of electrical channel.

So, in studying the topic of how to research and apply the benefits of "young blood", please recognize that this might not be such a new topic, nor one without grave ethical responsibilities. It is no good to anyone to regain one's youth, but lose the essence of our being-- the normal function of our organs/systems and the development of the body into what amounts to be a giant magnet capable of exerting positive or negative energy vibes capable of attracting or repelling the energies of others without their expressed consent or even recognition.

God bless,

I wonder if the stem cells in the younger animal were traveling to the older animal, and account for the blood-cell ratios.
